I received a letter demanding $640 for a speeding ticket from 1992.21 yrs. Ago I appeared in court, paid the fine and attended traffic school but have no paperwork to prove it. The letter claims the DMV has been attempting to locate me about this matter and I must pay now to avoid wage garnishment, attachment of personal property, etc. I have been registering my vehicles and renewing my driver's license without problems for nearly 30 yrs. This "collection company" is not legitimate. They must be stopped! I called the number on the letter and explained that this ticket was taken care of over 2 decades ago. The person I spoke to was very aggressive and threatening. He raised his voice and treated me like a wanted criminal! I said he needed to mail me court records and explain why a bench warrant was never issued if in fact I failed to appear. That was 35 days ago. I have not heard back, but would like to make them accountable for the undue stress they have caused me and countless others.
